THE HUNGRY HORDE: Head-
ing for Gold River, and points
North, by means of jalopies,
caravans, trailers, and devious
other conveyances are literally
hundreds of hopeful people in
search of construction work,
Ninety-nine percent return to
Campbell River after travelling
over 50 miles of B,C,’s roughest
road without a job.

News media and general gossip
build up convince the public any-
one would be employed merely by
appearing at. the construction
site. However, hiring is done
through the Government Employ-
ment Office or at the main offices
of construction companies with
contracts on the job.

Advice to anyone stil inter-
ested in making the trip on specu-

lation: Take at least two spare ~

tires, regardless of the condition
of the tires on the vehicle before
commencing the trip, Footnote:
it will be between four and six
months before any amount of
hiring will. be done, Even con-
struction sub-offices are not
built as of this date.

' A FEAR TO FEAR: This Island
has many parallels with other
islands and countries that are
presently in the news due to
American gunboat foreign poli-
cies and consequent invasion,
The Island has many natural re-
sources including an abundance
of copper such as the tin of Viet-
nam, The merchantable trees are
as dense as the sugar cane ofthe
Dominican Republic,

The Provincial Government is
sympathetic to the Yank policy
just as the puppet regime of
Vietnam, And horrors, there are
about ahundred Communist Party
members on the Island which is
probably more than either in-
vaded country has signed up,
(This doesn’t count the many
sympathizers in all three places),

Last, but by no means least,
we have a government that has
proven it will give the heritage
of the poeple’ to the Yanks for a

The hopeful note; there are still

(in spite of the Legion), who are

still loyal to the Canadian Flag.

THE PREMIER'S PRIZE: After
returning from a trade mission
to Japan the premier announced
the Japanese will build a pulp
mill worth a cool $100 million,
Obviously there is considerable
profit in these operations, if one
is to believe financial reports
from the other large timber in-
terests in the Province; so it
would seem to be more prudent
for the Provincial government
to have invested the $100 million
loaned to Quebec in a mill of the
same size and make a profit of
a quarter of a million dollars
instead of a mere $60 thousand
such as Quebec pays in interest
on the loan each year.

Of course this would reek of
socialism and there is nothing
socialistic about the SOCREDS,
and besides it would be more
difficult to convince the Quebec-
ers of this dynamic society of
the Socreds without the loan and
that might affect the Social Credit
Party in Quebec in the next elec-
tion, Oh, the intricacies of the
politician's mind, and at the ex-
pense of the voter.

NO PEACE FORTHE MARCH-

ERS: Presently the marchers
are being harried by officials,
One chap suggested on the edi-

‘torial page of the local rag,”
that marchers should be treated —

as vagrants and be arrested for
lack of visible means of support,
He suggested also, they were all
some type of mental case,

It seems these extreme Right-
ists think anyone who wishes to
have peace in this age are suf-
fering from some illness, Ifsuch
is the case there are millions
more insane than sane in our
society, but the former category
seems to be the best way to
survive,

AND THAT IS THIRTY FROM

BRIDGES HITS DOMINICAN POLICY

‘Meany’s kind of unionism doe

not represent all U.S. labor’ —

The U.S, is “operating at the
same old stand,” and its policy
has “the same old name, gun-

Bridges concerning the Domin-

“Where do we stand? Where
else can we stand except with
the people? We are not being
misled by this talk of ‘protecting
American lives,’ We know
exactly what it means, It means
protecting the rich to make them
richer, while the poor get poorer,

U.S, actions in Vietnam
and the Dominican Republic
came under sharp fire at the
annual membership meeting of
the Okanagan-Kamloops Com-
munist Party recently.

A resolution adopted at the
meeting on May 29 said the
U.S. course could ignite the
world in nuclear war, The
dangerous drift to war must
be stopped and U.S, inter-
ference in the internal affairs:
of other countries halted.

The resolution called for a
return to the policies of the
Geneva agreement of 1954and
for an immediate ceasefire,
The resolution was addressed
to Prime Minister Pearson
and urged that Canada dis-
associate itself from the U.S,
